Designing and Implementing Packages Tutorials

Microsoft Integration Services makes it easy to create robust and complex solutions for extracting, transforming, and loading data (ETL). The Integration Services tools let you design, create, deploy, and manage packages that address everyday business requirements. The step-by-step tutorials in the following list will help you learn about the Business Intelligence Development Studio environment. The first two tutorials demonstrate how to create packages in an Integration Services project and guide you through use of the Integration Services tools so that you can work efficiently from the very start. The third tutorial demonstrates how to use the Integration Services tools to easily install packages and their dependencies to a different computer.
